When Oregon’s decision makers debate controversial policies impacting corporations, businesses, associations, or nonprofits, Evyan ensures her clients have a seat at the table. She’s supported several of Oregon’s largest retailers in navigating an evolving regulatory and political environment, allowing them to build a strong reputation within the community while maintaining their operational integrity.
Evyan has built a strong reputation in crisis management, supporting clients through a challenging, ever-changing regulatory environment in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and wildfires. With boots on the ground, she was able advise clients on required adjustments to their operations to ensure compliance and safety in the community.
